APT  FniTOR  MARGARET  WILLIAMS 


Foreword 


We,  the  staff  of  1954,  have  compiled  for  you  this  edition  of  the  HURRICANE.  It  is 
your  "memory  book"  which  records  the  deeds  of  the  students,  who  embody  the  spirit 
of  Marion  High  School.  In  the  years  to  come  this  annual  will  keep  olive  the  memories 
gathered  during  your  school  days.  The  future  years  will  bring  new  faces  and  changes 
to  the  School  scene,  but  there  shall  be  this  record  of  the  friends  we  knew,  the  things 
we  did,  and  the  memories  that  are  still  dear  to  us. 


Presenting  Our  Theme 


Alma  Mater 


Oh,  never  may  thy  sons  and  daughters  bring  thee 
reproach  and  shame, 

Before  us  as  a  flaming  beacon  that  guides  the  wanderer 
to  shore. 


Thou  Marion  dost  lead  us  onward,  our  guide  for 
evermore. 


Oh,  Marion,  the  coming  years  will  never  dull  our 
love  for  thee. 

The  hours  we  spent  within  thy  walls  will  live  again 
in  memory. 

The  noise  and  tumult  of  the  world,  the  bitter  storm 
and  strife 


Will  lead  our  thoughts  to  high  school  days,  the 
sweetest  time  of  life. 


"Thou,  Marion,  dost  lead  us  onwdrd,  our  guidf 
for  evermore../’

Special  Recognition 


We,  the  1954  HURRICANE  staff,  take  pride  in  giving  this  special  recognition  to 
Mrs.  Cornelia  Anderson,  who,  in  her  quiet  and  unassuming  manner,  has  inspired  all 
who  know  her  not  only  to  appreciate  the  culture  of  the  past,  but  to  possess  a  keener 
interest  in  the  things  of  the  present.  Because  of  her  unselfish  service  and  masterful 
instruction,  she  will  be  long  remembered  by  the  students  of  Marion  High  School. 


Dedication 


In  appreciation  of  his  devoted  interest  in  the  students  of  Marion  High  School  and 
their  activities  as  instructor  and  friend,  we,  the  1954  HURRICANE  staff,  sincerely 
dedicate  this  edition  of  our  yearbook  to  Mr.  Charles  K.  Franzen.

Good  leadership  ability,  high  moral  standards,  and  passing  scholastic  averages  are 
the  qualities  of  representatives. 

The  Student  Advisory  Council  consists  of  S.C.A.  officers,  publication  heads,  elected 
homeroom  representatives,  club  presidents,  and  S.C.A.  sponsors,  but  all  the  students  of 
M.H.S.  are  members  of  the  Student  Co-operative  Association. 

During  the  year  the  S.C.A.  sponsored  a  Southeast  Assembly,  sent  seven  delegates  to 
the  Holston  District  Meeting  in  Galax,  and  one  delegate  to  the  State  Convention  in 
Radford  and  carried  on  important  business  concerning  the  school.

of  the  club  entered  the  local,  county,  district,  and  state  meets,  receiving  special  honors. 

The  club  also  raised  money  for  the  library,  won  a  cup  in  the  Homecoming  parade,  and

"THE  LIHLE  SHEPHERD  OF  KINGDOM  COME" 


The  senior  class  presented  this  three-act  comedy  drama  April  12  and  13  in  the  Marion  High  Audi¬ 
torium. 

The  scene,  laid  in  a  section  of  the  Kentucky  mountains  near  Frankfort,  took  place  in  the  living  room  of 
the  Buford  home  with  thirteen  characters,  five  boys  and  eight  girls. 

George  Thompson  played  the  leading  role  as  Chad,  "the  little  shepherd."  Nathan  Cherry,  a  hard 
fisted,  cruel  mountaineer  was  portrayed  by  Paul  Greer.  Chad  grew  up  with  the  Turner  family  and  fell 
in  love  with  Melissy  when  a  child.  Barbara  Barnett  played  the  mountain  girl  Melissy.  Glenda  Stone  as¬ 
sumed  the  role  of  Betsy  Cherry  the  daughter  of  Nathan  Cherry. 

Major  Calvin  Buford,  played  by  Clayborne  Gwyn,  picked  Chad  up  and  took  him  to  live  with  him.  The 
Major's  maiden  sister.  Miss  Lucy  Buford  who  was  played  by  Jenny  Jo  Pruner,  was  very  shocked  to  have 
the  presence  of  such  an  illiterate  boy  in  her  house. 

Dale  Dixon  took  the  part  of  their  Negro  servant.  Old  Tom,  while  Connie  Stephenson  was  their  "eves- 
dropping"  house  maid,  Thanky. 

Martha  Buchanan  portrayed  the  part  of  Mrs.  Caroline  Dean,  a  neighbor.  Margaret  Dean,  her  daugh¬ 
ter,  was  played  by  Ann  Vernon,  who  was  the  leading  character  among  the  girls. 

Robert  Young  was  the  sophisticated  fiancee  of  Margaret,  Richard  Hunt  and  his  sarcastic  sister  Nellie 
Hunt  was  played  by  Willie  Anne  Pugh.  Gale  Martin  took  the  part  of  Jennie  Overstreet,  a  very  romantic 
poetess  who  "just  loves  men." 

Mr.  A.  L.  Mitchell  and  Mr.  C.  A.  Wilkinson  were  the  directors  and  Anne  Eller  was  the  student  director. 


Barbara  Moore,  Edwina  Richardson,  Mildred  Robbins,  and  Libby  Ann  Thompson  were  prompters  and 
David  Johnson  was  the  stage  manager. 


"TAKE  CARE  OF  MY  LITTLE  GIRL" 

Playing  before  a  full  house,  the  1953-1954  Junior  Class  presented  "Take  Core  of  My 
Little  Girl"  os  its  annual  play  December  4  in  the  M.  H.  S.  Auditorium  at  8;00  p.m. 

This  delightful  comedy  in  three  acts,  dramatized  by  Anne  C.  Martens  presented  the 
problem  of  college  sorority  life  in  an  amusing,  sometimes  satirical,  yet  completely 
heart-warming  way. 

The  cast  consisted  of  Harriet  Slemp  as  Elizabeth  Ericson,  the  girl  who  goes  away  to

.  .  .  lies  ahead  in  textiles.  The  world's  oldest  industry,  textile  manufacturing  is  today  one  of  the  most 
exciting  and  challenging  fields  for  young  men  and  women  embarking  on  a  career.  Revolutionary  man-made 
fibers,  emerging  from  chemists'  test  tubes,  have  brought  about  progressive  strides  in  textiles.  A  pioneer 
in  the  field,  Burlington  Mills  today  ranks  as  one  of  the  world's  leading  producers  of  fabrics  from  man-made 
fibers. 

From  one  plant  with  approximately  200  employee*,  our  company  has  grown  to  include  74  manufac¬ 
turing  plants  in  45  communities  of  ten  states  and  three  foreign  countries.  Employing  32,000  people,  Bur¬ 
lington  is  today  a  recognized  leader  in  the  designing,  development,  research,  merchandising  and  fashion 
fields  as  well  as  manufacturing. 

If  you  are  a  young  man  or  woman  looking  for  a  place  in  industry,  we  think  you  should  consider 
textiles  —  and  Burlington.  It  can  hold  a  bright  future  for  the  person  with  the  willingness  to  learn,  ability 
to  work,  and  a  natural  interest  in  this  fascinating  and  competitive  field.
